agree  Will Matter: Right. It's a plate (and other utensils, too) with partitions / dividers that allow users to accurately gauge the quantity of food they will be consuming. I've posted a link (with a picture) above.

neutral  Will Matter: Hej. Not exactly right but a darned good guess. It's a "portion control" device for those who need it.
